政治 · Executive Privilege · 新闻档案司法部备忘录让特朗普的外部顾问免受国会和法院调查文字 2026年9月7日 UTC 21:22观看文字实录0:00The Justice Department's Office of Legal0:01[music] Counsel issued a memo Monday0:03evening, August 11th, 2026, declaring0:07that communications between President0:08Donald Trump and private [music]0:10advisers who do not work for his0:11administration can be protected by0:13executive privilege. The declaration0:15redefes what can be withheld [music]0:17from Congress and the courts, shielding0:19conversations with outside advisers tied0:22to official [music] duties rather than0:23limiting protection to internal0:25government channels. The memo centers on0:27[music] Trump and the private advisers0:28around him, including personal attorney0:31Boris Epstein, whose records are now0:33being sought by the American Bar0:34Association in litigation over law firm0:36deals. The office argued a president0:38might determine a private adviser has0:40unique insight and [music] that full0:41knowledge about a contemplated decision0:43cannot be obtained through only0:44government employees. [music] It warned0:46that without the extension, private0:47individuals may be reluctant to advise0:49on controversial policies for fear of0:51public disclosure or ramifications for0:53their personal endeavors.1:00That [music] assessment highlights the1:02gap between internal legal continuity1:04inside the office of legal counsel and1:06how far the expansion will appear to1:08judges, lawmakers, and the public. The1:10Supreme Court has expressed a [music]1:12broad view of presidential powers and1:14immunity under its 6 to3 conservative1:16majority, a [music] backdrop the new1:18memo lands against as courts weigh1:20executive claims. The office leans on a1:222007 memo from the George [music] W.1:24Bush administration during the US1:26attorneys firing and on precedents from1:28the Andrew Jackson and Franklin D.1:29Roosevelt administrations. The last time1:31Democrats took the House in 2018. Their1:34investigations of the first Trump1:35administration prompted novel legal1:37disputes over what lawmakers could1:38obtain. [music]1:39A preview of the subpoena battles1:41expected if control shifts in the1:42November elections.1:43>> [music]1:43>> The account is based on a single1:45transcript of the memo that has not yet1:47received broader independent1:48confirmation and courts have never1:50directly tested privilege for outside1:52advisers, leaving it unresolved whether1:54the expansion will hold when Congress1:56and litigants press for those1:57communications.1:59For more stories that matter, like and2:01subscribe.阅读文章事件时间线HeyDex短视频 ↗
